Patent number: 7561905Abstract: A pulse oximeter sensor comprising an emitter and a detector disposed on a substrate layer with a thinned portion between the emitter and the detector. A partially transparent covering layer covers the substrate layer and comprises a corresponding thinned portion. The thinned portions attenuate light shunted via the substrate layer and the partially transparent covering layer from the emitter to the detector, and may be configured such that less than 10% of the light detectable by the detector is shunted light.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2006Date of Patent: July 14, 2009Assignee: Nellcor Puritan Bennet LLCInventors: Russ Delonzor, Paul D. Mannheimer, Michael E. Fein, Don Hannula

Patent number: 7389130Abstract: A pulse oximeter sensor having an emitter(s) and a detector, with a layer having a first portion of the emitter and a second portion of layer over the detector is provided. A barrier is included between the first and second portions of the overlying layer to substantially block radiation of the wavelengths emitted by the emitter(s). Preferably, the barrier reduces the radiation shunted to less than 10% of the radiation detected, and more preferably to less than 1% of the radiation detected.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2006Date of Patent: June 17, 2008Assignee: Nellcor Puritan Bennett Inc.Inventors: Russ Delonzor, Paul D. Mannheimer, Michael E. Fein, Don Hannula

Patent number: 7386334Abstract: A pulse oximeter sensor comprising an emitter and a detector coupled to a substrate layer and a partially opaque layer located on a patient contact side of the sensor and covering the emitter. The partially opaque layer is configured to attenuate light shunted via the partially opaque layer from the emitter to the detector, and may be configured such that less than 10% of the light detected by the detector is shunted light.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2006Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: Nellcor Puritan Bennett Inc.Inventors: Russ DeLonzor, Paul D.
